I don't want to affect my windows xp hard drive at all. I have a couple of drives with windows 98 an those are the ones i want to delete everything off of completely like DoD so people cannot recover my tax info etc. Is there a program i can use that I can select the individual drive to scrub clean? Also my hard drive in my xp machine is partitioned is there any way i can make a recovery disk to de partion and scrub that drive and put xp back on it? please help thanks.

I was wondering if a 160 watt power supply would be enough to power a p4 with 384 mb of ram and a DVD-RW drive 1.44 floppy disk drive modem video card 32mb nvidia geforce2 mx200 video card. I was thinking about slapping a 300 watt power supply in it.
that model number is a 500LTD S/N 0025171229 I'm guess it the power supply that is in it right now the 160 watt would = a 240 watt maybe i'm wrong.

I am a computer whiz and I think there is no difference between a laptop and a notebook. My friend claims that a notebook has a 24 hr battery and it has a wireless netowork detector without the card. I have a laptop which does the same but it lasts only 3 hours. I think my friend is on the verge of losing this bet. I don't want any dumb people answering this question.

Don't tell me to stick with XP because I've never used XP. I still use Windows 98. So I need to upgrade, but how long should I wait until all the Vista bugs are worked out?
